Pokemon Boys Pikachu Costume Hooded Sweatshirt

Is it any wonder that Pikachu is Ash’s favorite Pokemon? Of course not! Pikachus are the coolest Pokemon out there. Sure, they may not be as big as a Wailord or as powerful as a Vaporeon, but they’re way, way cuter. Plus, they are surprisingly powerful in their own ways. They can shoot lightning out of their tails, for crying out loud! If you get enough of them together, they can even cause a lightning storm. That’s pretty cool.

There are a lot of cool little details when it comes to Pikachu. Did you know the species got its name from combining two Japanese sounds? “Pika” is the Japanese onomatopoeia for the noise made by electricity crackling and sparking, while “chu” is how Japanese imitate the sound of a mouse. Pikachu originally wasn’t meant to be the Pokemon mascot, but people loved it so much that it stole the role away from Clefairy. Now, Pikachu is so popular that it’s the Japanese equivalent of Mickey Mouse, and people are actually hired to dress up like Pikachu and go to places like birthday parties and amusement parks.
